POWER AMPLIFIER MODEL ESTIMATION FOR DIGITAL POST DISTORTION IN MULTI-ANTENNA DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18418858 titled 'POWER AMPLIFIER MODEL ESTIMATION FOR DIGITAL POST DISTORTION IN MULTI-ANTENNA DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, including mapping transmitter antennas to antenna groups based on power amplifier response, determining power amplifier models for antenna groups, and transmitting this information to user equipment (UE). The UE then determines power amplifier models for transmitter antennas and communicates with the base station based on these models.

  • Base station maps transmitter antennas to antenna groups based on power amplifier response
  • Power amplifier models are determined for antenna groups

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The methods include a base station mapping transmitter antennas to one of a set of multiple antenna groups based on a power amplifier response of one or more transmitter antennas, determining a power amplifier model for one or more antenna groups based on the power amplifier response of the one or more transmitter antennas, and transmitting an indication of the power amplifier model for one or more antenna groups to a UE. The methods include the UE determining a power amplifier model for a transmitter antenna of the set of transmitter antennas based on the indication of the power amplifier model and communicating with the base station based on the power amplifier model for the transmitter antenna.
